On the last few photos on Kam0706's link, the shots at the concert, Charlene's wearing this fab-u-lous necklace. I am probably never going to be in a position to wear/afford such a thing, but I love it!

Ok, I know that if you take a bunch of pictures you get some bad ones, but is picture 23 the most awkward kiss ever?

I agree. But then I've never been a big fan of watching people kiss.Both Albert and Charlene are not overly photogenic, I must say. There are many photos of her with her eyes closed, which is a shame because I really do think she's very pretty.

O/T but I really think that Andrea Casiraghi looks a lot worse than he did a few years ago! Must be too much time in the sun, or maybe chopping off his hair that made him lose his looks?

One can't justify one's own behaviour on the grounds that other people act even more reprehensibly.

Personally, I would expect my husband-to-be to be responsible enough to take appropriate steps to prevent such occurrences. (Not to mention, of course, that the existence of multiple children with multiple partners makes it a reasonable inference that "safe sex" isn't a top priority with him.)

My cousin's memoir of love and loneliness while raising a child with multiple disabilities will be out on Amazon soon! Know the Night, by Maria Mutch, has been called "full of hope, light, and companionship for surviving the small hours of the night."

I get the feeling that the standard of dress for this wedding was more "red carpet appropriate" than classic wedding (just based on the photos I've seen), in which case the musician is right on target with a current red carpet approach for males. That fits my impression of the Monaco crew!

Why no Carla Bruni - I saw Sarkozy there (rated at about a billion times less interesting without her)? Is she that far into her pregnancy? I'm sad we don't get to see her outfit.

It's no secret that I'm totally in love with Kate's dress. Charlene's dress, however, just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't seem to fit her properly (I wonder if, like a lot of brides, she kept losing weight and they didn't do a final fitting), and I loathe the center seam in the front. It's also a whole lot of uninterupted satin.

I agree that she doesn't look all that happy in most pics, but because I don't know her, I can't tell if it's just the stress of a very public wedding, if she's not normally smiley, or if she really did want to escape.
